But I can never remember a time when someone has bumped into me and I didn't know he or she was there and what they looked like and if my wallet was still in place. Hiding is hiding. Whether in a closet, behind a bed, or creeping in the shadows. And I can't remember the last time I tried to hide and bump into people.

i'm talking about hiding in plain sight. i've "snuck" up on people while walking right toward them through a crowd in their line of sight on a sunny afternoon.

and a bump doesn't have to be a big or noticeable bump. it's meant more as a normal subtle thing._________________A bright-eyed Thekko Ku Kalla dressed in a dapper sailor suit takes to flight and careers through the air toward the Modan Kucho and slams into him!

Well, born and raised in Detroit probably has me paranoid, cause if someone even brushes past me I'm on full alert. Either way, it's a suggestion which I believe has logic behind it. It's up to Trevor though to decide if he wants to implement and I trust his opinion on what would make the game better more than mine. It would just be nice to see some different messaging for hiding._________________Victim: Well, what is the creed?

I could have swore Trevor posted it on here somewhere but I couldn't find it.

What's the max you can steal from any target, 350 or 450?_________________Victim: Well, what is the creed?

that said, how far back in the back burner is making stealing difficulty/amount gained scale with critter difficulty?

(insert suggestion here that agents - any maybe trackers? - gain the ability to steal commods off certain mobs instead of cash/credits.

Running more on luck than skill, you launch a fast punch toward an elderly punk. Somehow, you land a good hit to his head as an elderly punk fails to dodge the attack.

I don't think this was really answered, but does or will embrace shadows help with stealing?

yes it gives a +20 stealing boost. check your stealing skill [while hiding] to see the embrace bonus in action.

Also, is there bigger plans for stealing other than just cash?

i think we have to wait for justice to be ready for shoplifting and etc etc etc to be considered._________________A bright-eyed Thekko Ku Kalla dressed in a dapper sailor suit takes to flight and careers through the air toward the Modan Kucho and slams into him!
